We have previous made these healthy banana pancakes which turned out to be one of the more popular recipes on our blog - both our English and Danish blogs. This time we have made healthy banana waffles which are perfect as a breakfast meal for the weekends or maybe as a snack in between two main meals of the day.

The recipe is very simple and only contains ingredients which are normally always on the shelves in the kitchen. The waffles contain oats which have been blended into a flour - oats have a high content of dietary fibers and are therefore very filling.
We normally serve these waffles with slices of banana and some chopped almonds. We also sometimes add some homemade healyhy Nutella - this it just super delicious.

This was actually an amazing waffle! but my only thing i was wondering was where is the nutrition facts? I just recently started calculating my calories and would have loved to have put theses waffles in my Fitbit.

Hi Brittany,
I'm glad you liked the waffles. I'm sorry, but none of us are counting calories, we are just trying to live healthy. If you do calculate the calories please write it in a comment for others to use.
Caroline
I'm pretty sure you can add the recipe somewhere in the Fitbit app and it will calculate it for you.

Thank you for the recipe! These waffles were so good that I just ate them plain. I'm sure it tastes even better with the homemade nuttella.

For a super free recipe, these waffles are very yummy and light! Next time I make these I think I may add some Stevia for the kids.
Kim Nielsen
Great idea with Stevia. I'll try that the next time :-)

These are so good! I modified it to use up extra bananas as follows: 4 over ripe bananas, 4 eggs, I cup ground oatmeal (easy to do in a coffee grinder) 2 T self rising flour, 2 T of buttermilk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla. It made 3 Belgian waffles. Thanks!!! This is great with 100% maple syrup!
